Climbing in Red Rocks after heavy rain can permanently damage the rock! MORE INFO >>>

The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN RED ROCKS during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

Description

Climb fun moves on really quality stone up a black streak. The bolt on this one has been broken off for a looong time-be glad you're not the one that snapped it. Above the bolt, nice climbing with a couple of reaches leads to steep jugs and an anchor crack that takes hand sized pieces.

Location

Starts just left of the boulder that borders the start of Go Ahead and Jump, in perfect black varnish with ASCA 1/2 in bolt 14' up.

Protection

Recently replaced snapped 1/4 in bolt, cams and wires. Anchor takes #1-2 camalots. Traverse right to rap slings off tree at top of Go Ahead and Jump.
